It truly is a coin-flip between these two teams...
Granted like many I am greatly concerned about the Spurs level of play and intensity (and the seemingly unusual rotations); but I also felt exactly the same way in last years Finals when the fast starting Spurs dominated games 1-2, only to get completetly hammered TWO straight in Detroit (granted both were on the road for the Spurs, but many of the same issues were there.)
Then the Spurs eaked out a win in 5, but many, after Pistons won in pretty convincing fashion game 6 back in TX, gave up hope for game 7 but the Spurs won when it counted.
This year the Pistons are obviously very motivated to return the favor and so far this year it has been all Pistons, but we have seen these two great teams have dynamic swings in dominance before.
The core squads are pretty much the same, one coach has changed, but if they meet if will all seemingly favor the Pistons, but will it really? One wonders if another swing back to equilibrium may occur, i.e. that the Pistons are not this good and the Spurs not really this bad.
That is why they play the games.

Yup ditto it will come down to HCA will be big this year.
I think we have the stronger bench this year and our starting 5 is a more well-rounded team than last year, excelling offensively under coach Saunders while still maintaining defensive intensity
I think that the Pistons winning 5 of the last 7 against the Spurs, including 2 of 3 on the Spurs homecourt, equates to more than a swinging pendulum.
Bench? Who? McDyess/Delfino/Evans? Get real. Det only had 34 bench minutes last night.
Saunders is burning his team out trying to win the January championship.
Yes Peter, that would be the stronger bench I'm speaking of and it's wishful thinking on your part the the team is being "burned out".
What's funny is your dumbass trying to convince yourself that wins in December and January mean anything. Your team doesn't have a bench, that's why Saunders is giving the starters heavy minutes. Pretty obvious. Even you should be able to figure it out.
Seriously, are Detroit fans this ing stupid? Apparently so. les aren't won in January. They're won in June and the last time I checked, it's 1-0 Spurs.
Poor bas s.
You already lose the arguement by resorting to insults, that's what people use in place of valid arguements or facts.
If they didn't mean anything they wouldn't be played.
Again Peter, a weak arguement on your part, no one said anything about championships being won in January.
You do win the profanity/insult contest for what it's worth (nothing).
Typical. You have no response. All you have is to cry like the little you are. What the are you doing here? Nobody gives a about your basketball or political takes.
Sounds like the Spurs...
And what have I cried about Pete?
the Spurs are in cruise control right now, that's what they usually do every year except for last season when they started off really good till the end when they got injured but still kicked it up the notch needed to beat all the pretenders including the Pistons...
Funny, for something that means so little you seem to think it means so much:
What a dumb .I think that the Pistons winning 5 of the last 7 against the Spurs, including 2 of 3 on the Spurs homecourt, equates to more than a swinging pendulum.
Not really. Stick to the NFL.
Piston's players don't go into "cruise" mode. They want HCA and they owe it to their fans to try to win every game. Intensity from start to end.
You completely lost it in what, 3 posts?
Yeah that's why TD played 39 minutes last night...
Stick to Initech.
Lost what? The notion that the Spurs losing the January championship means zero? The notion that you should find something else to do besides hanging around here like a redheaded stepchild?You completely lost it in what, 3 posts?
When I saw how the Pistons were playing weeks ago, I said Finals HCA would be critical to winning a Spur/Pistons 06 Finals. The Pistons have said as much themselves.
Anybody think the Spurs can go into Auburn Hills next June for Games1,2 and get a split?
High on the team. Det had 4 players who played more last night.
Ginobili saw all of 29 minutes.
Just like GM and Ford are going bankrupt, so are Piston fans.
Okay Pete, you won the battle of fewest minutes played by the starters, congratulations.
We only won the game.
And they're also playing without 2 of their top 9...
Parker, Bowen and Duncan are playing the same amount of minutes as their Piston counterparts. You think the Pistons give a of Rasho or Nazr is rested?
Manu has never played heavy minutes b/c IMO it takes away from what he does best; hustle, intensity, etc.
Congrats to Det on giving their starters 40+ min a night to win in January.
Too bad they can't get it done in June.
